Welcome to the City of Roses

Where city lights and mountain views are both within biking distance.

Northeast PDX Campus

Located in the historic NE Portland Concordia neighborhood, our campus offers a community vibe while maintaining a close proximity to downtown Portland. Tucked away between the Columbia river and Albert Arts district, there's plenty to do both on and off campus!

Getting Around

 

Driving a Car

Parking is free for the 2024-25 academic year. All motorized vehicles are required to obtain a no-cost virtual P-Zone parking permit through UO Transportation Services' online parking portal. Students can park in any campus parking lot, with the exception of the 27th Apartments lot that is only open to on-campus residents. 

We discourage students from street parking in local neighborhoods, as we have ample free parking on-campus. See a full map of campus by maps.uoregon.edu and selecting the Northeast Portland campus.

 

Riding a Bike

Bicycles are allowed in buildings on both campuses. Students are encouraged to register bikes with the Department of Parking and Transportation and review Portland's bike laws. Consider wearing a helmet and using a secure U-shaped lock, as well as keeping a copy of your bike's serial number. You can register your bike through Project529.

There are various bike racks conveniently located around campus, including in front of the Library and Learning Center, Campus Center, Innovation Building, and on-campus apartments.

 

Bike Share, E-Scooter, & Rideshare

Portland's BIKETOWN program has 1,000 bikes and 100 stations across downtown Portland and Portland's metro neighborhoods. There is a BIKETOWN sharing station outside the Library and Learning Center, across the street from Faubion School. Rates are based on time of ride, and annual memberships are also available for purchase. Many students qualify for BIKETOWN for All, a reduced-price membership that offers unlimited and free 60-minute trips and other benefits.

Several electric scooter companies, such as Lime, Skip and Bird, are seasonally available for rent.

Numerous rideshare companies operate in Portland, such as car2go, Lyft, and Uber.

 

Buses & Trains

TriMet (TriCounty Metropolitan District of Oregon) is the transit system for the Portland metropolitan area. The 75, 8, and 17 bus lines both stop near campus. The Max Yellow line runs from downtown up through NE Portland along I-5.

accessing buildings

At the University of Oregon's Portland campus, we utilize two primary cards to facilitate your campus experience: the Flock Card and the UO Portland Access Card. While the Flock Card serves as your official university identification, complete with library privileges and Duck Bucks functionality, the UO Portland Access Card is essential for accessing academic buildings, labs, and select campus facilities, especially during off-hours. Whether you're a new student needing to obtain both cards or a returning student looking to pick up replacements, this FAQ provides guidance on obtaining and using these cards effectively during your time at UO Portland. 

All students must have an access card to get into locked buildings after buildings close to the public. Access cards also provide students access into studio spaces, labs, and other areas that are never open to the public. Students are invited to request a Flock Card to check out books and equipment through the library and their academic programs.

 

Safety

Campus Safety patrols campus daily whenever buildings are open. After building hours, Allied University security maintains a presence on campus to support students who live in University housing. 

Campus Safety's office is located in the Portland Campus Center, Room 135. Stop by to request a SafeWalk to your on-campus apartment, vehicle, or nearby public transit stop, to get access to a locked room or building, or to replace/report a missing UO Portland access card. 

If you have an emergency, call 9-1-1.

For a nonemergency response, call: 503-412-3701
